Cuban-American jazz ensemble Ninety Miles features Stefon Harris (vibes), Nicholas Payton (trumpet) and David Sanchez (saxophone). The collaboration of these three outstanding musicians has created a unique collection of songs, blending traditional bebop with Latin and Afro-Caribbean influence. In addition to their music, the ensemble also created a documentary titled "The Ninety Miles Project." The film was brought to life within a span of a week in Havana, Cuba, highlighting local musicians, merging cultures and developing a musical conversation with no language barriers. Stefon Harris explains, "Music, in Cuba, is more than just something you sit and watch onstage. It's related to the way that people walk, to the food that they cook. It was nice to be in an environment like that, artistically."
